We should be getting different tyre models (each tyre maker), so why would we be getting different clutch packs, gearboxes etc... it's not always about most powerful is faster.... but I think if it's possible to change parts, it should be possible for the server to limit those parts available, give everyone the same basic package for leagues and only allow slight adjustments to setups....

I didn't mean to take it off-topic, I was agreeing that an Open city would be great, and you could have point-to-point races, Start @ A, Finish @ B, route inbetween is up to you, the only race in real life I watch that does this is Paris-Dakar Rally, even Gumball has a set route......

You need to reinstall the motherboard chipsets and make sure you get the SmartGart driver, this is what will control the AGP acceleration for ATi cards.... when switching from nVidia to ATi I would recommend a format and reinstall of windows as several games will not like this and possibly refuse to boot, crashing to dekstop when they run... Live For Speed not being one of them because it is so well coded!

Can someone please make me a skin, I have tried but can't get it looking anywhere good enough to put on a car....

I would like the Andy Priaulx BMW car from 2004 WTCC (Preferably the Spa car with Uninon Jack, not UK written.....)

For the FXR

A picture of the car...

Both sides of the car have the same Union Joack on it...

Please place number 46 instead of 11....






I can't find a picture of the back, so just keep it flowing!

Thank you soo much in advance....

Shift+S should be not be allowed on circuit racing and possibly long oval races, a simulation, crashes should be avoided as in real races, but for the Oval Junkies/Xsiv server the races are only 8 laps, less than 5 minutes, if you crash, your race is ruined, but if you stay on track, more than likely you will ruin someone elses race... it's only 5 minutes inbetween restarts so Shift+S'ing in these short races should be done for the enjoyment of the majority....

I have a Kawasaki Ninja ZX6R, and no car, I ride every day of the year (except Christmas day and when hungover!)

oh, and theres a big difference between realistic handling (Every game should have) and a simulation....

It's no fun if you can't corner properly, I know how a sports bike should be able to turn round corners, and haven't seen a game get close yet

Point-To-Point racing would be cool, start point, finish point, find your own way there....

That would be cool, expecially at south city, but any track, possibly a new track on sand (A-la Paris-Dakar style)

The problem it, often bike games are realistic, which means they aren't as fun as the could, for instance with Tourist Trophey, if you brake into a corner, then dab the accelerator you drift very wide and can't continue turning, this is a bad thing and wouldn't happen....

Ban cars from city centres, simple! (let the motorbikes in though!)

Make it illegal to drive a car less than 2 miles, make the lazy gits walk!

When S3 comes out, HDR will be the norm in most games, so yes, I think it will have it

Shame, I was gonna enjoy this race but got disconnected just before qualifying while practicing and getting quicker and couldn't reconnect......

It's made by Polyphony Digital (Same that make GT4), and it's heavily based on GT4, same circuits (Few taken out, a few added), very similar menu's, same lisence tests, can upgrade riders gear and you win bikes in challenges rather than buy them...

all in all, probably the best motorbike game on a console imo

Motherboards will generally only like processor's upto a certain speed, but that motherboard will accept anything on the market in that socket

You will need more memory as well, minimum 512mb but would plump for a gig, get DDR400 as well so processor runs at full speed

I'm not saying that's the car you're showing, although it does look like it, but it does come with a manual if you want one....

It's annoying when companies change things without telling everyone, just so impolite!

Quote from Mazz4200 :Sorry to be a complete Maserati geek, but, both of those cars mentioned only come with the flappy paddle gearbox

Not true, GranSport comes with a "Normal" gearbox if you want one
